Why does macOS Maps not recognise my house name address?

An iPhone when used over tour Mobile Service Provider will receive its signal from the nearest Cellphone Tower to your Physical Location

Coupled with the Builtin GPS abilities in the iPhone it will further position your Physical location in Maps

Apple Computers do not have GPS Built into the computer.

Therefore your geographical location in Maps when used on the computer, would be a Best Effort

I'm not sure if I was clear enough in my post. The issue is not about recognising where my MacBook is located. The problem is that macOS Maps seems unable to locate (maybe parse?) the address which has the form:

<<house name>>, <<street name>>, <<town name>> etc

It can happily locate (and therefore parse) something with the form:

<<house number>> <<street name>>, <<town name>> etc

Moreover, if I type my home address in the search box, it correctly locates my house. It offers me the opportunity to add this address to Favourites. If I do that, it creates the Favourite so I now have a map pin with the newly created Favourite exactly where my house is. But Maps still refuses to see that I have the same address as my "Home" in my contact record.

It really is strange behaviour.

OP original wrote " I live in a village where I have no house number, but a house name. "

OP wrote " Moreover, if I type my home address in the search box, it correctly locates my house "

Which of the two statements are accurate ?

FYI - my Physical mailing address and the address in Contacts application >> match

My Computers ( 3 ) running macOS 15.3.2 Sequoia and my iPhone 15 Pro with iOS 18.3.2

When using Maps Version 3.0 (2864.23.11.14.4) in Sequoia.

I will give my physical mailing location, as per Physical Location ( Home ) which does match the information in Contacts

Same goes for the iPhone 15 Pro

In effect, I am unable to duplication this issue
